YOUR HELP IS NEEDED!!!
A message from Sandra Pokos about her school being burglarized in Croatia:
"Dear Colleagues and Friends;
Thank you for your helping hands, thoughts and letters. I was lost and needed time to overcome the great shock I had finding my school in such a mess. All computers are gone, the safe was robbed, materials were all over the classrooms. I stood there with no documentation and no money... in great fear. It was Sunday, the children were coming in the morning!
We managed to get some information from our bookkeeper and accountant but mostly we are reconstructing from our heads.
The police did not find anything helpful. We are all stressed as we have lost all applications and info from new children.
I am a little stronger now but still do not feel confident to enter school by myself or to stay late and work as I used to.
I asked the City of Zagreb (Croatia) for assistant, but they did not respond. The Ministry of Education has no funds for such situations.
We are on our own.
We will have to make it.
We will.
Any help is welcomed. Thank you, all.
Sandra"
MEPI has setup a fund to get funds to help Sandra and her school back on their feet.

Welcome to our website...
MEPI was founded in 1995 by a group of 8 representatives of teacher education programs interested in promoting peace through authentic Montessori education and practice.
Dr. Helen Billings, an inspiring leader in Montessori education, was instrumental in guiding this organization’s formation. Through her global network, she encouraged these 8 MEPI founders, along with countless others, to adopt the Montessori philosophy into their lives and especially in their work as educators.
To this purpose, MEPI offers education programs across the US, and in
6 foreign countries. In addition, MEPI insures cooperation with MACTE by having a seat on their board, and working in conjunction with MACTE through periodic reassessment and revision of policies, procedures, standards, and criteria.

Heretic, rebel, a thing to flout.
But Love and I had the wit to win:
We drew a circle that took him in.
